Opsmatic provides a comprehensive live-state infrastructure monitoring platform, delivering deep system visibility and configuration management. Its core features include automatic drift detection, host state comparison, and real-time activity visualization. This approach offers DevOps teams immediate insights into dynamic cloud infrastructure changes, streamlining management and ensuring operational integrity.
The company was founded by Alex Solomon and Dave Nelson, driven by an insight to modernize infrastructure management. They aimed to free operations professionals from manual tasks, enabling proactive performance improvement and system reliability. Opsmatic’s independent operations concluded with its acquisition by New Relic in November 2015.
Opsmatic's product served operations teams and developers needing granular control over dynamic cloud environments. Its users sought to minimize downtime through understanding configuration and live system states. The company’s vision focused on empowering professionals with critical intelligence for managing complex, automated deployments.
Opsmatic was a San Francisco-based technology company that developed a cloud-based service for real-time infrastructure monitoring, providing DevOps and IT operations teams with visibility into configuration changes across dynamic cloud infrastructure.[1][2] It served modern DevOps teams at software companies, solving the problem of detecting "drift" in configurations, enabling faster issue resolution, reduced downtime, and greater confidence in deployments to help operations teams deliver more performance with fewer surprises.[1][2][3] Founded in 2013, Opsmatic raised $3 million in seed funding but was acquired by New Relic in 2015, integrating its technology into New Relic's broader application performance monitoring platform.[1][2]
Opsmatic was founded in early 2013 by Jim Stoneham (CEO), Mikhail Panchenko, and Jay Adelson (former Digg CEO, who stepped back in 2014 to focus on his VC firm).[1][2] The founders were experienced development and operations professionals from major web-scale companies at the dawn of the DevOps movement; frustrated by the lack of tools to bring those practices to other teams, they started Opsmatic to radically improve DevOps efficiency.[1] The company raised a $3 million seed round from various investors that year and launched a private beta alongside its acquisition announcement, marking early traction in the growing infrastructure monitoring space.[2]
Opsmatic rode the early 2010s DevOps wave, addressing the shift to dynamic cloud infrastructure where traditional monitoring fell short for web-scale operations.[1] Its timing aligned with surging demand for real-time visibility as companies adopted agile practices, microservices, and cloud-native architectures, filling a gap between application performance tools and infrastructure management.[1][2] Market forces like increasing complexity in hybrid clouds and the need for "infrastructure as code" favored Opsmatic, influencing the ecosystem by accelerating New Relic's expansion into infrastructure monitoring post-acquisition and contributing to the maturation of observability stacks.[1][2]
Post-2015 acquisition, Opsmatic's technology was absorbed into New Relic, enhancing its end-to-end visibility from infrastructure to user experience, though the standalone brand ceased.[1] Looking ahead, its innovations presaged the observability boom, with trends like AI-driven anomaly detection and multi-cloud monitoring shaping descendants in tools from New Relic (now part of private equity portfolios) and competitors. Opsmatic's legacy endures in empowering DevOps confidence, underscoring how targeted monitoring startups fuel larger platforms in cloud-native evolution.
